A suburban Philadelphia casino has partnered with US Airways on a promotion that will allow gamblers to earn airline miles.

Valley Forge Casino Resort announced the partnership Wednesday at an event marking the second anniversary of its opening. The casino says guests will be able to use their player points on airline tickets through US Airways' frequent flyer program.

Casino officials call it the first program of its kind.

Valley Forge is also spending $1 million to upgrade and expand its convention center.
